标普全球确认澳大利亚保留AAA最高信用评级[1]，使其成为仅有11个国家之一维持此评级[1]。这一决定认可了澳大利亚在房产税改革和国家残障保险计划（NDIS）支出削减方面的举措[1]。财政部长吉姆·查莫斯表示，评级的保留是对政府预算政策的"强有力认可"[1]。
根据预算计划，房产税改革、负扣税改革、资本利得税和信托改革将在未来十年内增加超过800亿澳元的收入[1]，而NDIS支出削减预计同期内节省2300亿澳元[1]。尽管实现了评级保留，澳大利亚本年度预算赤字仍预计达到315亿澳元[1]，净债务预计攀升至6166亿澳元[1]。仅九个国家从三大信用评级机构获得最高评级[1]。
影子财政部长蒂姆·威尔逊已确认，联盟党若获权将废除所有三项主要税收措施[1]。
Australia has maintained its AAA credit rating from S&P Global, placing it among only 11 countries worldwide holding the highest rating from that agency [1]. The rating affirmation reflects confidence in the government's fiscal management, particularly recognizing budget reforms centered on property taxation changes and National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) expenditure reductions [1].
The government's revenue-raising measures are projected to generate over 80 billion Australian dollars across the decade, encompassing property tax reform, negative gearing adjustments, capital gains tax modifications, and trust taxation changes [1]. Complementing these measures, NDIS savings are estimated at 230 billion Australian dollars over the same period [1]. Treasurer Jim Chalmers characterized the retained rating as a "strong endorsement" of the government's budgetary approach [1]. Despite these positive developments, the budget deficit for the current year is forecast at 31.5 billion Australian dollars, with net debt projected to reach 616.6 billion Australian dollars [1].
The rating retention carries political implications, as Shadow Treasurer Tim Wilson has confirmed that the opposition Coalition intends to repeal all three major tax initiatives if elected [1].
